Structured Interview (may be called
"Oral Board" or "Structured Oral Interview") The I/O Solutions (IOS) version of this
exercise allows for your responses to questions/scenarios to be
developed during a preparation period in which the candidate is given
all of the questions/scenarios with one exception -- the tactical scenario. This tactical question/scenario is either given to
the candidate at the very end of the preparation period or just prior
to entering the interview room. The questions can vary in form.
Situational questions are hypothetical scenarios (dealing with ethics,
organizational issues, personnel management problems, or tactical
incidents). General/Organizational questions can involve the
candidate's traits/characteristics as well as probing the candidate's
knowledge about the agency/organization and its procedures.
Experience-Based questions ask the candidate to discuss his/her
real-world past experience and handling of problems/events, but IOS will
almost certainly NOT ask this type of question. The Oral Resume
question is experience-based, but its open format allows the candidate
to discuss any past accomplishments, achievements, or experiences he/she
feels is indicative of his/her readiness or preparation for the target
job, and IOS frequently includes this question in its structured
interview format. This module includes 120 practice questions.
